Accordingly, the laminated body 511 can be impregnated with the adhesive 522 that has softened or melted the powdery adhesive 521 and developed adhesiveness. As a result of impregnating the adhesive 522, the content of the adhesive 522 per unit area of the laminated body 511, that is, the content density is determined.

- the preform 500 in which the core member 530 is inserted to form a closed cross section often has corners with a large curvature as shown in FIG.
- the amount of deformation differs greatly between the inside and outside of the corner. Therefore, the displacement between the layers of the stacked body 511 is larger than that of a plane portion having a small curvature. If the layers of the laminate 511 are bonded by the adhesive 522 that exhibits adhesiveness, the carbon fibers 510 are constrained, and thus the deformation of the laminate 511 is limited by the adhesive force of the adhesive 522. . If the preforming is performed in a state where the deformation of the laminated body 511 is restricted, wrinkles or kinks or the like are generated in a portion having a large curvature of the preform 500 after the molding.

It is difficult to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles and kinks.
- the preform 500 is formed so as to have a three-dimensional shape with a curvature of the second region 502 larger than that of the first region 501. Since the second region 502 has a lower density of the adhesive 522 than the first region 501, the carbon fiber 510 can be easily deformed in the second region 502.

Different from one embodiment. Since the manufacturing apparatus 100 has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.
- the resin 600 flows so as to spread concentrically from the injection port 313 as shown in FIG. For this reason, the peripheral part of the cavity 350 away from the injection port 313 is a part 352 in which the resin 600 is difficult to flow.
- the maximum injection pressure in the operation of injecting the resin 600 must be set to a high pressure, as shown by the broken line in FIG. Setting the maximum injection pressure for filling the resin 600 to a high pressure, that amount is also increased up to the pressure P 2 in the cavity 350. Therefore, in order to prevent inadvertent mold opening of the mold 310 during the pouring operation, it is necessary to use a large press machine capable of applying a larger mold clamping pressure.
- the first region 501 is disposed in a portion 351 where the resin 600 easily flows, such as in the vicinity of the injection port 313, for example, the peripheral portion of the cavity 350, etc.
- the powdery adhesive 521 is removed so as to form the second region 502 in the portion 352 where the resin 600 is difficult to flow (step S106).
- the flow resistance of the resin 600 is smaller than that of the first region 501. For this reason, in the step of injecting the resin 600 into the cavity 350 (step S202 in FIG. 10), the resin 600 is relatively easy to flow in the portion 352 where the resin 600 in which the second region 502 is arranged is difficult to flow.
- the resin 600 can reach the entire surface in a short time without increasing the injection pressure of the resin 600, the maximum injection pressure of the resin 600 can be reduced as shown by the solid line in FIG. . It is possible to suppress relatively small maximum pressure P 1 in the cavity 350, while achieving a short time of molding time, it is possible to reduce capital costs.
- the resin 600 is formed of an epoxy resin
- the adhesive 520 is formed of a low molecular weight epoxy resin.
- the adhesive 520 has an effect of guiding the resin 600 to the portion 352 that is difficult to flow, and can control the flow of the resin 600.
- the adhesive 520 softens due to reaction heat accompanying the curing of the resin 600, and the resin 600 gradually spreads throughout the cavity 350, so that the resin 600 and the adhesive 520 are more uniformly mixed. be able to.
- a part of the powdery adhesive 521 applied between the layers of the laminate 511 by the air flow V is applied. It removes and forms the 1st part 541 and the 2nd part 542 in which the application density of the powdery adhesive 521 is lower than the 1st part 541. Furthermore, the adhesiveness of the powder adhesive 521 is expressed, and the density of the adhesive 522 is higher than that of the first region 501 in which the laminated body 511 is impregnated with the adhesive 522 that exhibits adhesiveness.
- a preform 500 is formed comprising a lower second region 502. Thereby, the effect similar to 1st Embodiment is acquired. Furthermore, by controlling the content density of the adhesive 522, the composite material 400 can be formed in a relatively short time because the resin 600 can be easily impregnated regardless of the portion of the preform 500.
- the resin 600 injected into the cavity 350 flows more easily in the part of the cavity 350 where the second region 502 of the stacked body 511 is disposed than in the part where the first region 501 is disposed. For this reason, it is possible to make the resin 600 easily flow into the portion 352 where the resin 600 hardly flows, as compared with the case where a preform having a uniform content density of the adhesive 520 is disposed in the cavity 350. Accordingly, the resin 600 can be easily impregnated regardless of the part of the preform 500, and the resin 600 can reach the entire carbon fiber 510 in the cavity 350 in a relatively short time. Thus, while achieving a short time of molding time, it is possible to reduce capital costs by can be suppressed to a relatively small maximum pressure P 1 in the cavity 350.

In general members, the number of carbon fibers 510 stacked is often 4 to 5 layers, but in a relatively large structural member, it may be 10 layers or more.
- the airflow V generated by the removing unit 240 receives resistance from the carbon fibers 510 when traveling inside the stacked body 511. For this reason, the strength (gas pressure) of the airflow V gradually decreases from the one surface 511a toward the other surface 511b. Since the plate thickness of the laminated body 511 increases as the number of laminated layers increases, the ability to remove the powdery adhesive 521 by the airflow V decreases. As a result, it is difficult to adjust the content density distribution of the adhesive 520, and the first region 501 and the second region 502 may not be formed as designed.

Abstract
Description
以下、図1~10を参照して本発明に係る第1実施形態について説明する。
本実施形態に係るプリフォーム500は、図1の上段および中段に示すように、強化基材510を積層した積層体511に接着剤520を含浸させて所定の形状に予備成形して形成される。
複合材料400は、炭素繊維510および樹脂600を組み合わせることにより、樹脂600単体で構成される成形品に比べて高い強度および剛性を備えたものとなる。例えば、図8(A)に示すような自動車の車体700に使用されるフロントサイドメンバー701やピラー702等の骨格部品、ルーフ703等の外板部品に複合材料400を適用することができる。複合材料400は鉄鋼材料よりも軽量なため、鉄鋼材料からなる部品を組み付けて構成した車体と比べて、図8(B)に示すような車体700の軽量化を図ることができる。
図1~6を参照して、複合材料400の製造装置100について説明する。本実施形態に係る複合材料400の製造装置100は、大きく分けて、図1の上段および中段に示すプリフォーム500を成形する予備成形装置200と、図1の下段に示すプリフォーム500を用いて複合材料400を形成する複合材料形成装置300と、から構成される。また、複合材料400の製造装置100は、製造装置100全体の作動を制御する制御部110を有する(図2、図4(A)、図5(A)、図7を参照)。
次に、実施形態に係る複合材料400の製造方法を説明する。
図11および図12を参照して、前述した第1実施形態の変形例を説明する。
図13~17を参照して、第2実施形態を説明する。
第2実施形態に係る複合材料400の製造装置101は、前述した第1実施形態に係る複合材料400の製造装置100と同様に、プリフォーム500を成形する予備成形装置800と、複合材料400を形成する複合材料形成装置300と、から構成される。複合材料形成装置300は、第1実施形態と同様の構成を有するため、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
次に、実施形態に係る複合材料400の製造方法を説明する。
